WAITING.

We can well afford to wait if, 1, That for which we wait shall actually arrive, provided we wait long enough; 2, If the event waited for is worthy of such pains; 3, If waiting for it aright shall secure to us the blessing which it brings.
No one can fairly dispute this statement. Then how it should inspire us to patiently wait the return of Jesus. The world may deride those who wait for his glorious advent, but the time will come when their reproach shall be taken away from off all the earth, “And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us; this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.” Isa. xxv, 9.
